Description

Technical Field

[0002] In related technologies, a terminal can integrate a first module (such as a main communication module) and a second module (such as an ultra-low power communication module).

[0096] For ease of understanding, the following explains some aspects of the embodiments of this application:

[0097] 1. Non-IoT devices integrating ultra-low power communication modules

[0098] Ultra-low power communication modules are typically used alone in terminals with high requirements for power consumption, complexity, and battery life, such as IoT terminals. An extended application scenario is the use of ultra-low power communication modules in non-IoT devices such as mobile phones, including terminal and network-side devices. In this case, the device simultaneously possesses both a main communication module and an ultra-low power communication module. The main communication module has higher data rate and spectral efficiency, but also higher power consumption. Prolonged operation will reduce the device's battery life, making it suitable for transmitting large amounts of data in a short time. Conversely, the ultra-low power communication module may have lower data rate and spectral efficiency, but its power consumption is extremely low. It is suitable for transmitting small amounts of data over long periods, or for monitoring control plane signaling, avoiding or reducing additional latency caused by discontinuous reception (DRX). Figure 2 This diagram illustrates the information interaction between a terminal and a network-side device equipped with a main communication module and an ultra-low power communication module. The two devices exchange information via the ultra-low power communication module, and then interact with the main communication module within the device itself, such as the ultra-low power communication module waking up the main communication module for further operations.

[0099] in,

[0100] Main communication module: A module that supports traditional communication methods (such as 4G, 5G, etc.), such as a module that supports OFDM communication (including uplink and / or downlink);

[0101] Ultra-low power communication module: The ultra-low power communication module supports signal transmission via backscatter (e.g., Device A or Device B in Ambient IoT) or via low-power active carrier generation (e.g., Device C in Ambient IoT) and / or supports low-power receiving modules (e.g., low-power wake-up receivers); optionally, the ultra-low power communication module can also support energy harvesting (harvesting energy from light, solar energy, wireless signals, etc.); for backscatter signal transmission, the excitation source signal can be generated by the terminal with the ultra-low power communication module itself or by other devices.

[0102] It should be noted that the power consumption of ultra-low power communication modules is significantly lower than that of main communication modules. For example, the power consumption of ultra-low power communication modules is generally tens to hundreds of microwatts, while the power consumption of main communication modules is generally tens to thousands of milliwatts. The cost of ultra-low power communication modules is also significantly lower than that of main communication modules.

[0103] For non-IoT terminals such as mobile phones, integrating an ultra-low-power communication module on top of the traditional main communication module offers several advantages. While the main communication module boasts high data rate and spectral efficiency, it also consumes significant power, reducing battery life if left on for extended periods. It is suitable for transmitting large amounts of data in short bursts. Conversely, the ultra-low-power communication module may have lower data rate and spectral efficiency, but its power consumption is extremely low, making it suitable for transmitting small amounts of data over long periods or for monitoring control plane signaling, avoiding or reducing additional latency caused by DRX (Depth Reduction). However, the main communication module and the ultra-low-power communication module have significant capability differences, potentially leading to variations in signaling understanding, data processing, and timing methods.

[0104] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the transmission method, apparatus, and related equipment provided in this application through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0105] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a transmission method provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the transmission method includes the following steps:

[0106] Step 101: The terminal determines the target receiving mode based on the first information;

[0107] Step 102: The terminal receives the target channel or target signal based on the target reception mode;

[0108] The first information includes at least one of the following:

[0109] The first indication information sent by the network-side device;

[0110] At least one of the following: the active bandwidth part (BWP), the carrier, and the frequency band;

[0111] Energy-saving mode;

[0112] Timer;

[0113] Target rules predefined by the protocol or configured by network-side devices;

[0114] Feedback information of the terminal's request or instruction information;

[0115] The terminal needs to use or support the following features;

[0116] The terminal needs to use or support key performance indicators (KPIs).

[0117] At least one receiving mode's operating conditions or KPIs, wherein the at least one receiving mode includes the target receiving mode;

[0118] The target event is either predefined by the protocol or configured by the network-side device.

[0119] The target receiving mode (Rx mode) can also be described as a target communication mode, a target communication module, a target communication device, a target transmission mode, or a target power class, etc.

[0120] In one implementation, the terminal can determine the target reception mode from multiple reception modes based on first information.

[0121] The multiple receiving modes mentioned above can also refer to receiving modes that have significant differences in one or more aspects such as frequency band, data rate, and transmission waveform. They can refer to different operating parameters used by the same communication hardware module, or they can be multiple different communication modules. Multiple communication modules can have at least one independent component at the physical layer, such as the RF front-end, antenna, or baseband; however, it is also possible for all components to be completely independent.

[0122] In one implementation, the target receiving mode includes situations such as activation or deactivation of only high-power devices, activation or deactivation of only low-power devices, and activation or deactivation of both high-power and low-power devices.

[0123] In one implementation, the target receiving mode or target communication module may include at least one of a first module (e.g., high power or complexity) and a second module (e.g., low power or complexity).

[0124] The first module (or device) and the second module (or device) can be understood as a high-power device and a low-power device, or as a high-power receiving mode (Rx mode) and a low-power receiving mode (Rx mode); or as a high-power receiver and a low-power receiver.

[0125] In one implementation, the terminal determines the target receiving mode, which can be understood or replaced as the target communication module being activated, the target receiving mode being activated, or the target receiving mode being activated.

[0126] In one implementation, the network-side device (such as a base station) can carry or explicitly indicate the first indication information through at least one of the following: system information (such as Master Information Block (MIB), System Information Block (SIB) 1), Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE), Msg2, Msg4 or Downlink Control Information (DCI), Fallback Random Access Response (RAR) information, and Wake-up signal (WUS) signal; the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on the first indication information.

[0127] In one implementation, network-side equipment (such as a base station) can be configured to associate a target reception module (Rx mode) with a BWP, carrier, or band, and the terminal can determine the target reception mode to use based on the activated BWP, carrier, or band.

[0128] Optionally, the handover time required for BWP, Carrier, or Band handover may differ from the handover time requirement when the BWP, Carrier, or Band handover involves a change in the target reception mode.

[0129] In one implementation, network-side equipment (such as a base station) can be configured to associate a target reception mode with an energy-saving mode, and the terminal can determine the target reception mode through the current energy-saving mode.

[0130] For example, the power saving mode includes User Equipment (UE, i.e., terminal) DRX. For instance, during the UE DRX activation time, the target communication module 1 is used to receive the target signal or target channel, and during the inactive time, the target communication module 2 is used to receive the target signal or target channel.

[0131] For example, energy-saving modes include cell DRX or discontinuous transmission (DTX), such as cell DRX or DTX activation time using target communication module 1 to receive target signals or target channels.

[0132] In one implementation, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on a timer. This timer can be associated with at least one reception mode. For example, a network-side device (such as a base station) can configure a timer for the usage time of target reception mode 2 (or target communication module 2). When the terminal uses target reception mode 2 (or target communication module 2), the timer starts running; when the timer expires, the terminal switches to target reception mode 1 (or target communication module 1).

[0133] In one implementation, target rules can be predefined through protocols or configured by network-side devices (such as base stations), and the terminal can determine the target reception mode for receiving target signals or target channels based on the target rules.

[0134] The protocol in the protocol predefined can refer to a communication protocol, such as the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) protocol.

[0135] In one implementation, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on feedback information from the terminal's request or indication information. For example, the terminal can request or indicate the target reception mode for receiving a target signal or target channel via Msg1, Msg3, Msg Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), or Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). For example, the terminal instructs the network-side device to use the target reception mode for receiving the target channel or target signal. The network-side device sends feedback information to the terminal based on the terminal's request information. Only after receiving the feedback information from the network-side device can the terminal use the target reception mode to receive the target channel or target signal.

[0136] In one implementation, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on the features it needs to use or supports. For example, the terminal can determine which reception modes (or communication modules) cannot be used and which can be used based on the features it currently needs to use or supports.

[0137] In one implementation, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on the KPIs that the terminal needs to use or supports. For example, the terminal can determine which reception modes (or communication modules) cannot be used and which can be used based on the KPIs that the terminal currently needs to use or supports.

[0138] In one implementation, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on the operating conditions or KPIs of at least one reception mode. For example, the terminal can determine the unusable and usable reception modes (or communication modules) based on the features or KPIs that the terminal currently needs to use or supports, and the operating conditions or KPIs of at least one reception mode (or communication module).

[0139] For example, the terminal can determine which communication modules cannot be used and which can be used based on the features or KPIs that the terminal currently needs to use or supports, and / or the operating conditions or KPIs of (possible) communication modules; for example, when the terminal uses the NES feature, it uses a low-power module to receive downlink channels or downlink signals.

[0140] In one implementation, the terminal can determine the target reception mode based on a target event predefined by the protocol or configured by the network-side device. The event can be predefined by the protocol or configured by the network-side device (such as a base station). When an event is satisfied, the terminal determines the target reception mode for receiving the target channel or target signal. For example, each event can be associated with a reception mode, and different events can be associated with the same or different reception modes. When an event is satisfied, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is the reception mode associated with the satisfied event.

[0141] In one embodiment, the target channel or target signal may include:

[0142] Physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or control resource set (CORESET); such as PDCCH reception in the Random Access (RA) search space;

[0143] Msg2 or RAR;

[0144] MsgB;

[0145] Msg4;

[0146] Other common physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs); such as the PDSCH of SIB1, or the PDSCH for coordinating other system messages, or the PDSCH for paging.

[0147] Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS);

[0148] Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS);

[0149] Positioning Reference Signal (PRS).

[0150] In one implementation, the target receiving mode may include a mode received using the main communication module or a high-power mode; or, the target receiving mode may include a mode received using an ultra-low-power communication module or a low-power mode. A mode received using the main communication module can be understood as a high-power mode; a mode received using the ultra-low-power communication module can be understood as a low-power mode.

[0151] It should be noted that the main communication module or high power mode and the ultra-low power communication module or low power mode have significant capability differences. The embodiments of this application can implement a method for the terminal to determine the target communication module or target receiving mode of the downlink channel or signal when the terminal integrates the two modules or modes.

[0152] In this embodiment, the terminal determines a target reception mode based on first information; the terminal receives a target channel or target signal based on the target reception mode; wherein, the first information includes at least one of the following: first indication information sent by the network-side device; at least one of the activated bandwidth portion (BWP), carrier, and frequency band; power-saving mode; timer; target rules predefined by the protocol or configured by the network-side device; feedback information of the terminal's request information or indication information; features that the terminal needs to use or supports; key performance indicators (KPIs) that the terminal needs to use or supports; operating conditions or KPIs of at least one reception mode, the at least one reception mode including the target reception mode; and target events predefined by the protocol or configured by the network-side device. In this way, the terminal can determine the target reception mode for receiving the target channel or target signal based on the first information, thereby improving the flexibility of the terminal in receiving the target signal or target channel.

[0153] Optionally, the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0154] The target receiving mode;

[0155] The target channel or target signal that matches the target reception mode;

[0156] Switch to the target receiving mode;

[0157] The start time of the target reception mode taking effect;

[0158] The duration for which the target receiving mode is active;

[0159] The end time of the target reception mode's effective period;

[0160] The target reception mode is a pattern of its effective time in the time domain.

[0161] In one implementation, the first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0162] Indicates the applicable target channel or target signal;

[0163] Indicates the target receiving mode (or target communication module);

[0164] Instruct the target to switch its receiving mode (or target communication module);

[0165] The start time at which the indicated target receiving mode (or target communication module) becomes effective;

[0166] The duration for which the indicated target receiving mode (or target communication module) is active;

[0167] The end time of the indicated target receiving mode (or target communication module);

[0168] The pattern of the target receiving mode (or target communication module) in the time domain effective / activation time, such as a cell DRX / DTX pattern.

[0169] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the target reception mode based on the first indication information sent by the network-side device. The terminal receives the target channel or target signal based on the target reception mode, which can ensure that the terminal receives the target signal or target channel in the optimal reception mode, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving. Furthermore, it can avoid the terminal defaulting to using the first module to receive the downlink channel or signal, thereby reducing the terminal power consumption.

[0170] Optionally, the target receiving mode is determined in the target rule based on at least one of the following:

[0171] The receiving mode corresponding to message Msg1, MsgA, Msg2, MsgB, Msg3 or Msg4;

[0172] The association between the default receiving mode and the target channel or target signal;

[0173] Whether Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4 should be retransmitted or repeated;

[0174] The number of retransmissions or duplicate transmissions of Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4;

[0175] Whether Msg2, Msg B, or the physical downlink control channel PDCCH are repeatedly transmitted or retransmitted;

[0176] The number of repeated transmissions or retransmissions of Msg2, Msg B, or PDCCH;

[0177] The waveforms, coding schemes, or modulation types corresponding to different receiving modes;

[0178] Downlink reference signal measurement results;

[0179] Whether the target channel or target signal is used in the fallback process of two-step random access;

[0180] Whether the target channel or target signal is associated with the initial physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission;

[0181] The terminal connection mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) pattern;

[0182] Configuration of terminal measurement intervals;

[0183] Whether the terminal receives a back-to-back instruction during the random access process;

[0184] The terminal selects a randomly accessed downlink reference signal or reference signal group;

[0185] The terminal selects the Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), frequency, frequency band, subband, carrier, or synchronization grid.

[0186] In one embodiment, the target receiving mode (or target communication module) determined by the terminal is consistent with (or the same as) the target receiving mode (or target communication module) of Msg1, MsgA, Msg2, MsgB, Msg3 or Msg4.

[0187] In one implementation, the terminal determines to use a default receiving mode (or communication module). For example, the high-power module is the initially activated module by default, or the low-power module is the initially activated module by default, or both the high-power module and the low-power module are the initially activated modules by default.

[0188] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether Msg3, Msg1, and Msg4 are retransmitted or repeatedly transmitted. Whether Msg3, Msg1, and Msg4 are retransmitted or repeatedly transmitted can reflect channel conditions or reliability requirements. For example, when channel conditions may be poor or reliability requirements are high, a reception mode that can provide higher reliability can be selected, and a high-power mode can be selected for receiving the target signal or target channel.

[0189] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the number of retransmissions or repeated transmissions of Msg3, Msg1, and Msg4. For example, there is a mapping relationship between the number of retransmissions or repeated transmissions of Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4 and the target reception mode. For instance, if only one retransmission occurs, a low-power mode can be used to receive the target signal or target channel; if the number of retransmissions is greater than or equal to three, a high-power mode can be used to receive the target signal or target channel. Furthermore, when the number of repeated transmissions of Msg1 exceeds a certain threshold, the corresponding Msg4 transmission uses a high-power mode and is received using a high-power module.

[0190] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether Msg2, MsgB, or PDCCH is repeatedly transmitted or retransmitted, or the number of times it is repeatedly transmitted or retransmitted. Whether Msg2, MsgB, or PDCCH is repeatedly transmitted or retransmitted, and the number of times Msg2, MsgB, or PDCCH is repeatedly transmitted or retransmitted, can reflect channel conditions or reliability requirements. For example, when channel conditions may be poor or reliability requirements are high, a reception mode that can provide higher reliability can be selected, and a high-power mode can be selected for receiving the target signal or target channel.

[0191] In one implementation, the target receiving mode determined by the terminal is associated with the differences between the various receiving modes in terms of waveform, coding scheme, or modulation type.

[0192] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with downlink reference signal measurements. The downlink reference signal measurements reflect the condition of the wireless channel, thereby enabling the selection of the most suitable target reception mode in subsequent transmissions.

[0193] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether the target signal or target channel is a fallback step in a two-step random access process. For example, the transmission of the target signal or target channel in the fallback step can be received using a high-power mode, as fallback may indicate poor channel conditions, and subsequent transmissions can choose a more reliable reception mode.

[0194] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is related to whether the target signal or target channel is associated with the initial physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission; for example, the RAR (i.e., the target channel or target signal) reception associated with the initial PRACH transmission uses the second module, otherwise the first module is used.

[0195] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the terminal's C-DRX pattern (e.g., an active period or non-active period configuration). For example, each C-DRX pattern may correspond to one target reception mode.

[0196] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the configuration of the terminal measurement gap. For example, terminal measurement gaps belonging to different gaps can correspond to different target reception modes.

[0197] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with whether the random access procedure has received a backoff indicator. For example, when the terminal receives a backoff indicator, it indicates that the current load is relatively high, and Msg4 transmission can use higher power transmission and can be received by a high-power module, which can reduce the number of msg4 retransmissions and repeated transmissions, and save time and frequency resources.

[0198] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with the downlink reference signal (e.g., the synchronization signal block (SSB) signal used to select random access channel (RACH) resources) or reference signal group selected by the terminal. For example, for random access corresponding to a specific reference signal group or SSB, the corresponding Msg2 or Msg4 is transmitted or received using a high-power module; for random access corresponding to other reference signal groups, the corresponding Msg2 or Msg4 is transmitted or received using a low-power module. Here, the corresponding beam and coverage conditions may be different under different reference signal groups, so the terminal can save energy by using different reception modes to receive Msg2 or Msg4.

[0199] In one implementation, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is associated with random access corresponding to at least one of the following: TRP, frequency, frequency band, subband, carrier, or synchronization grid selected by the terminal. For example, for random access corresponding to at least one of a specific TRP, frequency, frequency band, subband, carrier, or synchronization grid, the reception of the corresponding downlink channel or signal uses a high-power module for communication; for random access corresponding to other situations, the reception of the corresponding downlink channel or signal uses a low-power module for communication. Here, under different TRPs, frequencies, frequency bands, subbands, carriers, or synchronization grids, the corresponding beam and coverage conditions may be different, thus using different reception modes to receive the corresponding downlink channel or signal can achieve the best communication effect.

[0200] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the target reception mode based on the above-mentioned target rules, and the terminal receives the target channel or target signal based on the target reception mode, which can improve the flexibility of the terminal in receiving target signals or target channels; furthermore, it can avoid the terminal continuously using the first module (high power module) to receive downlink channels or signals, thereby reducing terminal power consumption and achieving energy saving.

[0201] Optionally, the target event includes at least one of the following:

[0202] The terminal receives the target scheduling PDCCH;

[0203] The average data rate within the observation window of the terminal meets the preset conditions.

[0204] The average monitoring energy efficiency within the observation window of the terminal meets the preset conditions;

[0205] The reference signal measurement result of the terminal is greater than or less than a preset threshold value;

[0206] The terminal's battery level meets preset conditions.

[0207] The target scheduled PDCCH can be a PDCCH with a specific schedule; optionally, the specific schedule includes scheduled PDCCHs with a number of frequency domain units less than or equal to a certain value, scheduled PDCCHs with a Transport Block Set (TBS) less than or equal to a certain value, etc. For example, when the terminal receives the target scheduled PDCCH, the corresponding PDSCH can be received using a low-power module.

[0208] In one implementation, the target event can be that the average data rate within the terminal's observation window meets a certain condition. When the target event is met, the terminal determines the target reception mode as the reception mode associated with that target event. For example, when the average data rate is greater than a certain value, the terminal can use a high-power mode to receive the target channel or target signal.

[0209] In one implementation, the target event can be that the average monitored energy efficiency within the terminal's observation window meets certain conditions. When the target event is met, the target reception mode determined by the terminal is the reception mode associated with the target event.

[0210] In one implementation, the target event can be a reference signal measurement result of the terminal being greater than or less than a certain threshold value. When this target event is met, the terminal determines the target reception mode as the reception mode associated with that target event. For example, when the reference signal measurement result is greater than a certain value, the terminal can use a low-power mode to receive the target channel or target signal.

[0211] In one implementation, the target event can be that the terminal's battery level meets a certain condition. When the target event is met, the terminal determines the target reception mode as associated with that target event. For example, when the battery level is high, a high-power mode can be used to receive the target channel or target signal; when the battery level is low, a low-power mode can be used to receive the target channel or target signal.

[0212] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the target reception mode based on the aforementioned target event, and the terminal receives the target channel or target signal based on the target reception mode, which can improve the flexibility of the terminal in receiving the target signal or target channel; furthermore, it can avoid the terminal continuously using the first module (high power module) to receive the downlink channel or signal, thereby reducing the terminal power consumption and achieving energy saving.

[0213] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0214] The terminal receives the second information sent by the network-side device;

[0218] The second configuration information is used to configure the association between the target receiving mode and the energy-saving mode;

[0219] The third configuration information is used to configure the timer associated with the target reception mode.

[0220] In this embodiment, the terminal receives second information sent by the network-side device, determines a target reception mode based on the second information, and receives a target channel or target signal based on the target reception mode. This improves the flexibility of the terminal in receiving target signals or target channels. Furthermore, it avoids the terminal defaulting to using the first module to receive downlink channels or signals, thereby reducing terminal power consumption.

[0221] Optionally, the target receiving mode includes receiving with a first module or receiving with a second module, wherein the first module and the second module are modules with two different operating modes or different power consumption.

[0222] The first module can be a main communication module or a high-power mode module (or described as a high-power module); the second module can be an ultra-low-power communication module or a low-power mode module (or described as a low-power module).

[0223] Optionally, the target channel or target signal includes at least one of the following:

[0225] In this embodiment, the terminal can determine the target reception mode for receiving the target channel or target signal based on the first information, thereby improving the flexibility of the terminal in receiving the target signal or target channel.

[0226] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0227] The terminal sends target capability information to the network-side device;

[0228] The target capability information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0229] Does the terminal support one or more receiving modes?

[0230] The operating conditions or KPIs of the receiving modes supported by the terminal;

[0231] Does the terminal support the simultaneous use of multiple receiving modes?

[0232] The terminal supports a combination of receiving modes that can be used simultaneously.

[0233] The terminal supports receiving data using at least two receiving modes;

[0234] The terminal supports switching between at least two receiving modes.

[0235] The operating conditions or KPIs of the receiving mode supported by the terminal may include the frequency band, power consumption or battery level, reliability and / or latency of the receiving mode supported by the terminal.

[0236] In one implementation, the target capability information can be used to indicate whether the terminal supports data reception using at least two reception modes.

[0237] In one implementation, the target capability information can be used to indicate whether the terminal supports switching between at least two receiving modes.

[0238] In one implementation, before the terminal determines the target reception mode based on the first information, the terminal sends target capability information to the network-side device.

[0239] In this embodiment, the terminal sends target capability information to the network-side device, so that the network-side device can determine the second information based on the target capability information. In this way, the network-side device can consider the terminal's capabilities to configure the target reception mode for the terminal to receive target signals or target channels, thereby improving the flexibility of the terminal in receiving target signals or target channels.

[0240] Optionally, the target capability information is associated with or corresponds to at least one of the following:

[0241] UE; frequency band; frequency band combination; UE type; application scenario; TRP; cell; reference signal group or reference signal.

[0242] In one implementation, the target capability information of the terminal can be reported at one or more of the following granularities:

[0243] Per UE; Per band; Per band combination; Per UE type; Per application scenario; Per TRP; Per cell; Per reference signal group or per reference signal.

[0244] For example, the reference signal or reference signal group is a reference signal or reference signal group selected by the terminal for determining random access resources.

[0245] In this embodiment, the terminal can report the target capability information at a granularity of at least one of UE, frequency band, frequency band combination, UE type, application scenario, TRP, cell, reference signal group or reference signal, which provides high flexibility in reporting target capability information.

[0247] PRACH signal; Wake-up signal WUS or Probe Reference signal SRS; Msg3 Physical Uplink Shared Channel PUSCH; MsgA PUSCH; Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0248] In one implementation, the terminal indicates or reports target capability information through one or more of the following methods, or requests configuration of the receiving mode corresponding to the target signal or target channel through one or more of the following methods:

[0249] The PRACH signal is used to indicate or report target capability information, or to request the configuration of the receiving mode corresponding to the target signal or target channel; for example, it can be indicated, reported or requested through a specific random access timing (RACH Occasion, RO) or PRACH preamble or feature combination corresponding to PRACH resources; the PRACH can be MsgA PRACH or Msg1 PRACH.

[0250] The target capability information is indicated or reported through WUS or SRS signals, or a request is made to configure the receiving mode corresponding to the target signal or target channel.

[0251] The resources, information, or bits of Msg3 PUSCH are used to indicate or report target capability information, or to request the configuration of the receiving mode corresponding to the target signal or target channel.

[0252] The resources, information, or bits of MsgA PUSCH are used to indicate or report target capability information, or to request the configuration of the receiving mode corresponding to the target signal or target channel.

[0253] The target capability information is indicated or reported by additionally defined specific signals, or a request is made to configure the receiving mode corresponding to the target signal or target channel.

[0254] The above-mentioned one or more uplink signals or channels can be used to indicate or report target capability information, or request the configuration of the receiving mode corresponding to the target signal or target channel. For example, when all uplink and downlink signals transmitted through the Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) and uplink and downlink signals not transmitted through the RIS are in different time windows, the network-side device can determine that the terminal transmitting the WUS signal has the transmission capability of the target signal or target channel corresponding to the window based on the specific uplink signal (such as the WUS signal) received in different time windows.

[0255] Reporting or requesting via RRC signaling; for example, for a connected terminal, it can report target capability information or request the configuration of target signal or target channel target reception mode on the RRC signaling of normal UE capability reporting according to the above granularity indication.

[0256] In this embodiment, the terminal transmits target capability information via at least one of the following: PRACH signal, WUS or SRS signal, Msg3 PUSCH, MsgA PUSCH, and RRC signaling, thereby enabling the transmission of the aforementioned target capability information using existing signaling.

[0257] Optionally, the target capability information is associated with the transmission time window for sending the target capability information.

[0258] Specifically, the target capability information can be indicated by the uplink signal or the transmission time window of the channel carrying the target capability information, which indicates that the terminal has the target capability information within the transmission time window.

[0259] Optionally, the terminal determines the target receiving mode based on the first information, including at least one of the following:

[0260] The terminal determines the type of the target receiving mode based on the first information;

[0263] Optionally, the effective time of the target reception mode is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0264] The first indication information;

[0265] The transmission time of the activation signal or deactivation signal of the target receiving mode;

[0266] The reception time of the feedback signal of the activation signal or deactivation signal of the target reception mode;

[0267] Protocol predefined.

[0268] The activation signal can also be described as an activation request signal; the deactivation signal can also be described as a deactivation request signal.

[0272] The target receiving mode takes effect after an activation or activation request signal is sent.

[0273] The target receiving mode takes effect at a certain time interval after the activation or activation request signal is sent. This time interval can be specified by network configuration or protocol, for example, it can depend on the processing time of the activation signal.

[0274] The target reception mode takes effect after the reception time of the feedback signal of the activation signal;

[0275] The target reception mode takes effect at a time interval after the reception time of the feedback signal of the activation signal. This time interval can be specified by network configuration or protocol, and may depend on the uplink signal processing time and the downlink signal reception and processing time.

[0276] The effective end time of the target receiving mode is before the deactivation or deactivation request signal;

[0277] The end time of the target receiving mode is before a certain time interval after the deactivation or deactivation request signal. This time interval can be specified by network configuration or protocol, such as depending on the deactivation signal processing time.

[0278] The end time of the target receiving mode's activation is before the reception time of the deactivation signal's feedback signal;

[0279] The effective end time of the target reception mode is before a certain time interval after the reception time of the feedback signal of the deactivation signal; wherein, the time interval can be specified by network configuration or protocol, for example, the time interval can depend on the uplink signal processing time and the downlink signal reception and processing time;

[0280] The start and / or end times of the target reception mode are predefined by the protocol; for example, it takes effect in the next slot, ms, or frame after the switching conditions of the target reception mode (or target module or target device) are met.

[0281] Optionally, the start time for the target reception mode to take effect is after the transmission time of the activation signal; or,

[0282] The target reception mode takes effect at least one time unit after the transmission time of the activation signal; or,

[0283] The target reception mode takes effect after the reception time of the feedback signal of the activation signal; or,

[0288] The effective end time of the target reception mode is at least one time unit before the reception time of the deactivation signal.

[0289] The start time of the target reception mode's activation refers to the time at which the target reception mode becomes effective, after which the terminal can use the target reception mode; the end time of the target reception mode's activation refers to the time at which the target reception mode becomes ineffective, after which the terminal can no longer use the target reception mode.

[0290] The time unit can be a frame, subframe, slot, xs, or s.

[0291] In one embodiment, the start time of the target receiving mode taking effect is after the time of sending the activation signal, which can be understood as the target receiving mode taking effect immediately after the activation signal is sent.

[0292] In one implementation, the target reception mode takes effect at least one time unit after the transmission time of the activation signal. This can be understood as the target reception mode taking effect X1 time units after the transmission of the activation signal. This X1 time unit can be specified by network configuration or protocol.

[0293] In one embodiment, the start time of the target reception mode taking effect is after the reception time of the feedback signal of the activation signal. This can be understood as the target reception mode taking effect immediately after receiving the feedback signal of the activation signal.

[0294] In one implementation, the start time of the target reception mode taking effect is at least one time unit after the reception time of the feedback signal of the activation signal. This can be understood as the target reception mode taking effect after X2 time units following the reception of the feedback signal of the activation signal. These X2 time units can be specified by network configuration or protocol.

[0295] In one implementation, the end time of the target receiving mode's activation is before the time the deactivation signal is sent, which can be understood as the target receiving mode becoming ineffective when the deactivation signal is sent.

[0296] In one implementation, the end time of the target reception mode's effectiveness is at least one time unit before the transmission time of the deactivation signal. This can be understood as the target reception mode becoming invalid X3 time units after the transmission of the deactivation signal. This X3 time unit can be specified by network configuration or protocol.

[0297] In one embodiment, the end time of the target receiving mode's activation is before the reception time of the deactivation signal's feedback signal. This can be understood as the target receiving mode becoming ineffective upon receiving the deactivation signal's feedback signal.

[0298] In one implementation, the end time of the target reception mode's activation is at least one time unit before the reception time of the deactivation signal. This can be understood as the target reception mode becoming invalid four times after receiving the feedback signal of the deactivation signal. These four time units can be specified by network configuration or protocol.

In this way, the network-side device can consider the auxiliary information reported by the terminal to configure the terminal with a target reception mode for receiving target signals or target channels, so that the target reception mode configured for the terminal can better match the actual situation of the terminal and improve the terminal's effect of receiving target channels or target signals.

[0313] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0314] The terminal receives multiple sets of fourth configuration information sent by the network-side device, and the multiple sets of fourth configuration information are respectively associated with or correspond to multiple receiving modes;

[0328] In this embodiment, the terminal determines at least one of the following configurations based on the target reception mode: BWP configuration, serving cell configuration, uplink channel or uplink signal transmission configuration, downlink channel or downlink signal reception configuration, SR or BSR configuration, and CSI reporting configuration. This configuration is more suitable for the terminal's current reception mode and can improve the terminal's ability to receive the target channel or target signal.

[0329] The following examples will provide further explanation:

[0330] Example 1:

[0331] In this example, the target communication module or target reception mode (Rxmode) for implementing downlink channel or signal reception is determined.

[0332] When the terminal supports at least two communication modules or Rx modes, the UE determines the Rx mode of the downlink channel / signal according to the network side's instructions. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the transmission method includes the following process:

[0333] Step (1): The network side sends the first information (such as the first indication information) through system messages. The first information indicates the target communication module or target Rx mode received by Msg2 and Msg4.

[0334] Step (2): The UE receives the first information;

[0335] Step (3): Based on the first information, the UE uses the target communication module or target Rx mode to receive Msg2 and Msg4;

[0336] In some embodiments, the UE determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for receiving downlink channels or signals according to the following rules:

[0337] Based on the default values ​​specified in the protocol, such as using a low-power module for reception by default;

[0338] Based on whether Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4 is retransmitted or repeated; for example, if Msg1 is retransmitted, then Msg2 will be received using a high-power module.

[0339] Based on the number of retransmissions or repeated transmissions of Msg3, Msg1, or Msg4; for example, if the number of retransmissions of Msg1 exceeds a certain value, Msg2 will be received using a high-power module.

[0340] It depends on the downlink reference signal measurement results; for example, if the reference signal measurement results are lower than a certain value, a high-power module is used to receive the downlink signal or channel.

[0341] Indicated by the network side, it can be the current serving cell, or other cells, or neighboring cells; for example, Msg2 can indicate the target communication module or target Rx mode received by Msg4; or, Msg4 can indicate the target communication module or target Rx mode of PDCCH or CORESET; or, SIB1 or MIB can indicate the target communication module or target Rx mode receiving Msg2 or Msg4.

[0342] The UE requests or instructs the UE; for example, the UE indicates in Msg1, Msg3, MsgA PUSCH or SRS that it will subsequently use a low-power or high-power module to receive downlink channels or downlink signals.

[0343] In this example, the terminal determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for downlink channel / signal reception based on network side indications or some events or decision conditions. This can effectively and reasonably allocate the time for the UE to use high power or low power for downlink reception, thereby maximizing energy saving gains.

[0344] Example 2:

[0345] In this example, the target communication module or target Rx mode for implementing Msg2 or MsgB is determined.

[0346] When the terminal supports at least two communication modules or Rx modes, the UE determines the Rx mode of Msg2 and MsgB according to some rules.

[0347] In some embodiments, the UE determines the target communication module or target Rxmode for receiving Msg2 or msgB according to the following rules:

[0348] Based on the default values ​​specified in the protocol, such as using a low-power module for reception by default; for example, for the RAR corresponding to the initial PRACH transmission, low-power mode is used for reception, otherwise high-power mode is used for reception.

[0349] Keep it consistent with PRACH; for example, if PRACH is transmitted using a low-power module, then Msg2 and Msg4 are received using a low-power module.

[0350] Based on the number of retransmissions of PRACH or MsgA; for example, when the number of retransmissions is less than a certain value, use low-power mode to receive Msg2 or MsgB;

[0351] Based on network-side instructions; the network side instructs the UE to receive downlink signals or channels via PDCCH orders, MAC or RRC signaling, targeting the communication module or target Rx mode.

[0352] In this example, the terminal determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for downlink channel / signal reception based on certain events or decision conditions. This eliminates the need for additional signaling overhead on the network side to instruct the UE, thus reducing signaling overhead to some extent. The UE can effectively and reasonably allocate the time for downlink reception using high power / low power according to the events or decision conditions, thereby maximizing energy saving gains.

[0353] Example 3:

[0354] In this example, the method of indicating the target communication module or the target Rx mode is implemented.

[0355] The base station displays and indicates the target communication module or target Rx mode used for receiving the target downlink signal or downlink channel through system information (such as MIB, SIB1), RRC signaling, MAC CE, Msg2, Msg4 or DCI.

[0356] The displayed instructions include at least one of the following:

[0357] (1)Fiele1, in the form of a bitmap, each bit corresponds one-to-one with the target signal or target channel;

[0358] For example, the 8 bits are respectively matched with the target signal (or channel) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 according to the most significant bit to the least significant bit.

[0359] (2) Field 2, in the form of a bitmap, each bit corresponds one-to-one with a different target communication module or target Rx mode.

[0360] For example, the 4 bits are assigned one-to-one with the target communication modules 1, 2, 3 or 4 from the most significant bit to the least significant bit. When a bit is set to 1, it means that the UE can use the corresponding target communication module to receive downlink target channels / signals.

[0361] (3) Field3 indicates the start time, duration or end time of the target communication module or target Rx mode;

[0362] For example, after the network side sends the first indication information, the target communication module or target Rx mode will take effect after Xms, slots, frames or subframes, and the duration will be Yms, slots, frames or subframes.

[0363] The terminal determines the target communication module or target Rx mode for downlink channel or downlink signal reception based on network side indications or some events or decision conditions. It can effectively and reasonably allocate the time for the terminal to use high power or low power for downlink reception, thereby maximizing energy saving gains.

[0364] It should be noted that in 6G, for non-IoT terminals such as mobile phones, integrating an ultra-low-power communication module on top of the traditional main communication module offers several advantages. The two modules have significant capability differences: the main communication module has higher data rate and spectral efficiency, but also higher power consumption; while the ultra-low-power communication module is the opposite. For terminals integrating both modules, the challenge lies in how to rationally allocate the usage time of different modules and define their usage scenarios or conditions while ensuring transmission performance, thereby maximizing energy savings. In this embodiment, the terminal determines the target reception mode for receiving the target channel or target signal based on first information, which improves the flexibility of the terminal in receiving the target signal or target channel; and it allows for the rational allocation of usage time and definition of usage scenarios or conditions for different modules while ensuring transmission performance, thus maximizing energy savings.
